Perry, Matthew — Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT

INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
#1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
The BELOVED STAR OF FRIENDS takes us behind the scenes of the hit sitcom and his struggles with addiction in this "CANDID, DARKLY FUNNY...POIGNANT" memoir (The New York Times)
A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK by Time, Associated Press, Goodreads, USA Today, and more!
"Hi, my name is Matthew, although you may know me by another name. My friends call me Matty."
So begins the riveting story of acclaimed actor Matthew Perry, taking us along on his journey from childhood ambition to fame to addiction and recovery in the aftermath of a life-threatening health scare. Before the frequent hospital visits and stints in rehab, there was five-year-old Matthew, who traveled from Montreal to Los Angeles, shuffling between his separated parents; fourteen-year-old Matthew, who was a nationally ranked tennis star in Canada; twenty-four-year-old Matthew, who nabbed a coveted role as a lead cast member on the talked-about pilot then called Friends Like Us. . . and so much more.
In an extraordinary story that only he could tell—and in the heartfelt, hilarious, and warmly familiar way only he could tell it—Matthew Perry lays bare the fractured family that raised him (and also left him to his own devices), the desire for recognition that drove him to fame, and the void inside him that could not be filled even by his greatest dreams coming true. But he also details the peace he's found in sobriety and how he feels about the ubiquity of Friends, sharing stories about his castmates and other stars he met along the way. Frank, self-aware, and with his trademark humor, Perry vividly depicts his lifelong battle with addiction and what fueled it despite seemingly having it all.
Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing is an unforgettable memoir that is both intimate and eye-opening—as well as a hand extended to anyone struggling with sobriety. Unflinchingly honest, moving, and uproariously funny, this is the book fans have been waiting for.

What are holidays for but a time to be among Friends? Love might not be in the air, but laughs are when Chandler goes on a blind date with Janice (recurring guest star Maggie Wheeler) on Valentine's Day. Christmas is the season for even more laughs when Monica and Rachel give cookies instead of cash to the building super and he neglects to fix the heat during a sweltering holiday party. And Joey's job selling Christmas trees causes eco-friendly Phoebe to worry for all the leftover trees that aren't picked. Ross gives a novel interpretation to the season with his "holiday armadillo!" Halloween brings out guest star Sean Penn, Thanksgiving brings (Aniston's then-husband) Brad Pitt as an old friend who can't stand Rachel. The gang's reminiscences about their worst holidays involve Joey getting his head stuck in a turkey and Phoebe losing her arm (twice) in 1862 and 1912!
